Where is Mario ? Would be great if we could find out who the local supplier is. I'm quite keen to build another rod, this time a little stream rod, and perhaps a Gatti would be a good choice. Interested in a 3wt probably.

And application for small streams? The different length options is one of the attractions for me, but this is a Tip Flex (Fast) rod.

I know an action is pretty much a personal preference thing but it should still be considered when deciding what the rod will be used for. If this rod is fast, then I would imagine it would not protect light tippets as well and short distance accuracy might be affected?

I guess a secondary question would be - who uses fast action rods on the streams and do you have problems when using 6/7x and hooking larger fish? Do you do anything to prevent the leader popping?
